Marlin Golden Model 39a .22 Long Rifle

Since 1954 Marlin has used their proprietary Micro-Groove rifling in the Model 39A. This rifling uses many small lands and grooves rather than 2, 4, or 6 deeper grooves used by the majority of rifle makers. The rifling is also made to a 1 in 16" right hand twist. The combination of these two factors arguably adds to the accuracy of the rifle and indeed the 39A's reputation would seem to bear this out. The Model 39A is still considered one of the finest examples of a lever .22 rifle, and one of the most accurate .22 rifles ever produced. It is also the best-selling lever rimfire in U.S. history. This rifle is in great condition. It would make a great addition to a collection or as a gift to a young shooter.
The bore is bright and the microgroove rifling is shallow. There is no erosion..
